According to Theron, as the mother of two-year-old August and six-year-old Jackson, the past year under the new administration in America was something she could not even talk about.

“But racism is much more alive and well than people thought. We can’t deny it anymore. We have to be vocal,” she said. “There are places in this country where, if I got a job, I wouldn’t take it. I wouldn’t travel with my kids to some parts of America, and that’s really problematic.”

Theron then added there were times she looked at her children and thought "If this continues, I might have to leave America.", adding the last thing she wanted was for her kids to feel unsafe.

The Tully actress said she makes it her mission to help her children build character, adding she wanted them to know who they are, despite being so young and have them be proud of who they are.

However, she explained her children would have to know it's a different climate for them than it is for her, which she described as unfair.

“If I can do something about that, of course I’m going to.”, she added.
